Patsy loves her new smaller bed. It is so lovely seeing her snuggling up to you on your lap - she is so loved, and she so loves you back. You are such a positive person, and you spread that positivity to us, so thank you. xxx

I couldn't wait to grow my gray out. I'm finally free from coloring after 20+ years. I was afraid I'd look a lot older, but nah, Im loving it! And the compliments are wonderful!

[@bridgetannanelson6921]

When I'm feeling a bit fed up, I just go into the garden. My energy is raised by Mother Earth. She is the greatest healer. You look amazing Colette, truly inspirational in all ways. 🌻🐝🐞🌞❤

[@karenrosser]

I had let my wavy hair grow out so it was all 50 shades of grey, then I underwent chemo and it all fell out. It’s just started to grow back, I’m looking forward to seeing what colour and texture it has now. I love seeing women with their natural colour.

[@user-qi1lj5oe7y]

Thank you so much you beautiful soul. My husband and soulmate passed away a month ago after a very short month and a half from pancreatic cancer. Your thoughts on flipping your brain when you fall into despair was so impactful to me today.

[@IslandBuzzy]

I agree about "flipping" our brain or thought process. Personally, when I find myself going down that rabbit 🐰 hole, I think of things that I'm grateful for, I look at my surroundings and speak my gratefulness out loud...even if just for a plant, or my pup or fresh water or the fact that I woke up this morning 😊 There is so much good in this universe and the more we put our collective energy into acknowledging that "good" the more it will present itself! Have a beautiful weekend...find peace in every moment ❤

[@parry3231]

Absolutely incredible to see the new arrangements of the furniture. It all makes sense and looks fantastic ❤ Collette and Patsy both have the just the right fit for themselves in their own cozy beds❤ Thanks again and again Collette for taking the time and effort to share your life with us all ❤

[@morrigans_cottage]

You and your home are a huge inspiration ❤

[@alisonh890]

Hi, I love that you did all that furniture moving - I can’t wait for help either! Patsy looks lovely in her new bed. Reminds me of when I bought new beds for my two dogs, a small dog and a medium one, the bigger dog tucked himself into the small bed and the small dog was lost in the much bigger bed! They do make you laugh.❤xxx

I have a little Jackawhahwhah and a Beagle, the little one is always sneaking into the beagles bed. There is no way she can fit in little ones bed lol

[@geminigreywolf6655]

When you were talking about it’s our energy and how we decide what we feel. You reminded me of my mom. She was very much of manifesting good health. She passed at the age of 91. No medications. She even mowed her yard 3 days before she passed in her own bed, in the room and house she was born in.

[@Nightowl-72]

I’m 52 and haven’t coloured my hair for over a year now, and it feels wonderful! So liberating. I just decided one day I no longer wanted to put chemicals on my head. 💜

[@broomhag]

I went to see my cardiologist the other day. He asked me if I do any exercise. I told him, no, not really. I told him I do move furniture! He asked me if I had help and I said, nope, I just do! I've moved all the furniture in my living/dining room. Didn't like it, so I moved it ALL back! He didn't say anything just typed in his notes! I always move furniture around. I feel it changes the chi/vibes/energies in the room.

[@margarethughes3763]

I need to start decluttering finding it v hard to start. 😢

[@jamesmurray438]

The very hardest part is actually starting. Once you take that initial leap, the good feelings kick in and it gets both easier and more rewarding

[@donnawaldron3261]

@margarethughes3763 Mr. Carrington has done a decluttering video with Helen Lederer. I need to finish watching it because I am a hoarder and lots of clutter.

I am in Australia and just found your channel. I am in my late 70’s and feel exactly the same about the state of the world and my ability to change anything. I do not watch the news and very little tv at all. I love to read and during Covid, discovered that I am a mixed media artist. I live in a unit with a small garden and, as you, I have moved and cleared out ‘stuff’ to make things more accessible and open. I will visit again.

[@TheMardi45]

I'm 79 and I just moved all my furniture around. Staying fit and healthy is almost my priority. Like you, I have a large garden, a lovely little old house, and drawing painting and craft works. I don't want to ever have to stop, (probably inevitable one day) but until then I will keep at it. And I also am shocked by the state of things in this world. I wish all these ego maniacs would just disappear.🦘🐌🐞🪶🦋🦜🕊️🍄🐝

We sound similar in our lifestyles. Nice to see your post and happy gardening.

That couch looks like it was made to be there by the small stove. That will be so cozy this winter! The hutch looks gorgeous in the kitchen, too. You are always moving forward, Colette., I think that's your secret - keep things moving! I hope you know how much of an inspiration you are. I look forward to every video!

[@mikeinportland30]

Patsy's stubby little wagging tail looks just like a happy little goat🥰🥰🥰. The little darling! Our politics are awful, the future is scary, the world is a frick'n mess.....yet there are still little dogs's tails wagging and putting that joyous energy into the air and maybe their positive little Butterfly Effect will spread!

[@cenedraleaheldra5275]

your hair is looking beautiful. You place is mystical. Your wonderful to listen to.

[@clionamm]

One of the things I've always liked about your home is how you move the furniture around in your sitting room quite often. It's nice to let the corners air! Like you, I live alone, and I often wonder how I manage to move, lift and shift some of the bigger pieces in my home, on my own. I don't have the patience to wait for the cavalry!

[@eleanorluckhurst9192]

Great video. I have cancer and I do the same thing.. I search my brain for happy memories and I go there. I think it takes a little practice but once you get it mental and physical well being benefit.

I was thinking your hair was looking particularly lovely in this video. I've been in painting mode lately. I had forgotten how a fresh coat of paint can make me smile.

Your hair looks great. Once years ago I used the hair color remover and ended up looking just like my Collie dog😂

I used peroxide when I was young and had reddish highlights. I’m starting to use it again thanks to you. I’m also very gray and I’m begging to like it. Thank you. I felt as if you were talking to me today. I have no energy and I know why, there’s a lot of negativity and anger around me something I can’t do nothing about at the moment. But I will try to turn this energy towards me, hope it works. I love what you’ve done with your cottage. I’m also decluttering and you reminded me that it’s best to give away rather than sell. I’ve been actually enjoying decluttering more than I thought. Love your videos. I started watching since your first one and was so happy when I received your books. You’re an inspiration ❤ stay safe. Sending many blessings to the both of you.❤❤

Hi Colette, I really appreciate your wisdom and sense of humor. As the saying goes, if you can't say anything nice to someone, say nothing at all. People today, always look at the negativity, blame everyone but themselves, and don't give a (bleep) about hurting others' feelings. Callous and brain-dead in my book, but you know how to convey to us that making small changes can lift your spirit for the better, needing no assistance/compliments from anyone. Enjoy you to pieces, hugs to Patsy. Have a fun weekend! Jersey Ann from NJ in USA

I love moving furniture and never wait for help, you can move anything if you want to, if things are a bit heavy or awkward I go and have a cup of tea and have another go. I agree that it makes you feel more energised when you get rid of clutter. I have got rid of 2 awkward items of furniture this weekend and feel better for it. Good advice for thinking positive happy thoughts. Best wishes from Queensland, Australia.

Collette, i hope you know and feel that you make such a positive impact on people (speaking from my experience of listening to you for over 4 years now) through your motivational uplifting way you talk about life, how to reenergise, keep going and make your life your own. It has always been for me so motivational as a young woman, and helps me feel like yes i can be like her. It must be difficult sometimes to know if your message is reaching people for certain on the internet, but you truly have made a big impact on me and where i hope i can direct my life and way of thinking. Youre so uplifting i wish there was a way of returning the favour to let you know your efforts are worthwhile. Wishing you a fruitful summer, peace love to you and little patsy. Xxx

Hi Colett! I love Patsy´s new bed; and just love your little cottage! I stopped coloring my hair abut 7 years ago and have never regretted it. Mine is white/silver with one spot of salt and pepper on the lower nape of my neck I love mine natural - I believe you will too; it will grow off quicker than you think then you have freed yourself from the endless root touch ups, which feels wonderful. !!!!

You are spot on in this “rant”. I just lovingly call these rants. I love them! ❤ Thanks for these talks!

[@LolaMarigold]

My great grandmother had a stove like that. I used to colour my hair copper/reds as I just love that colour but when the grey started coming in I decided to let it so how I dealt with it was to use a cap with holes and pull strands through and bleach. Those strands would blend in with grey and I wouldn't have a line around my head where the grey began. I had very long grey/white hair for years but being so pale and red skinned I bought a natural light blond colour. Did I regret that!! No one compliments the colour anymore LOL. It is still very long. will take a long time to grow out again..sigh... 💞 from Newfoundland

[@ecojo]

Hello Collette, your an inspiration. I love your cottage. You have done so much good, in many ways. I really like the way you just laugh and the way Patsy makes you laugh. Her little bed is so cute, bless her. I noticed the same with my dogs they love a smaller bed to sleep on. I agree with the getting things out of the house. I have reshuffled for years and donated massively, but getting rid of my old furniture, I didn't miss one bit of it. I prefer space and less clutter. I am hoping to move and I have to pare down my things again. I quite like the process. bye for now and happy summer. xxx Joanne.

[@hanapalkova7513]

Colette, Marie Kondo writes perfectly about declutter in her books. She explains in it from spiritual aspect what is happening on spiritual level if we own a lot of stuff. In 2015 I did declutter in my appartement I lived at that time and after declutter energy of my life was completely changed. A lot of stuff we do not practicaly use but posses drains our energy always. We need to take care of it etc.

[@myrtleholly2016]

I, too, have let my hair go grey, and I am quite content with that choice. I've been decluttering my yard by pulling up/cutting down some voracious vines that are pulling down the branches of some trees. I go out every two weeks or so to do battle, and by the end I am quite grubby and sweaty, but my psyche is energized, though physically I am exhausted (and the little oaks and maples, disencumbered, sway freely). Again, I will say it--you are a constant inspiration!

[@camilleschoonover4789]

I like the way you think for sure! I do believe we have to say positive things to ourselves and also others.
